Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 has set a new record

Cash raised for Prevent Cancer Foundation

Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 has officially wrapped, with the organisation proudly announcing that it's raised a whopping $2,263,508.19 for the charity Prevent Cancer Foundation. If that wasn't enough, the amount raised is up by $40,000 on last year's event, smashing another record in the process.

The week-long speed running marathon saw over 32,000 people give to the cause, 130 of them forking out more than $1,000 in donations. It's the second occasion that Games Done Quick has raised more than $2,000,000 for its annual event, which started back in 2011.

Highlights from this year includes a main quest run through of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a Resident Evil 7: biohazard Madhouse difficulty run, and beating all of the bosses in Bloodborne. You can see the full lineup of titles played here.

Looking ahead, Games Done Quick is gearing up for its next event in summer 2018, which runs from June 24 until July 1.
